Study Notes
Chinese and Japanese Gardens
- Chinese gardens represented or suggested actual scenes, hills, and streams
- Paths in Chinese gardens ran in pebbled patterns, and doors were often circular or octagonal
- Chinese gardens used weird, contorted, water-worn rocks and petrified plant forms as sculpture, along with guardian dogs and other features of stone
- Japanese gardens derived their landscape inspiration from the Chinese and included meaningful stones and stone lanterns, trees, pagodas, arched bridges, and characteristic fences and gates in their layouts
Site Selection
- Site selection involves measuring the needs of a new project against the merits of potential locations
- Four factors of site selection:
- Accessibility: easy access to the site
- Competitors: checking for compatibility with nearby stores when researching a site
- Parking: parking availability is very important for a business
- Cost: considering the cost of the site
Site Selection Process
- Involves measuring the needs of a new project against the merits of potential locations
- Smaller sites with gradual slopes may show 1, 2, or 5 feet markers
- Larger or steeper sites may show markers in 10, 20, or 50 feet
- Contour lines before grading are usually shown by continuous lines
Soil and Geology
- Soil formation is the combination of natural processes by which soils are formed
- Soil formation factors:
- Parent materials
- Relief or topography
- Organism (including human)
- Climate
- Time
- Soil formation process:
- O Horizon (Organic): composed of plant debris and barely mineral matter
- A Horizon: humus has decayed further and has mixed with mineral grains (clay, silt, and sand)
Behavioral Setting
- Interaction between human behavior and non-human environment is a two-way process
- Two main sets of variables:
- The environment that surrounds and affects the individual
- The inner condition of the individual, which has two parts:
- Psychological, related to the body's biological mechanism
- Psychological, related to the cultural background, motives, and experiences of the individual and their basic needs
Human Factors
- Physical factors:
- Analysis of average measurements and posture, movements, and growth results in a set of dimensions for parts of buildings and detailed landscape design
Historic Factors
- Historic buildings, landmarks, and archeology must be taken into consideration in site planning
- Preservation, conservation, and restoration are likewise important in planning
Aesthetic Factors
- Natural features:
- Sites characterized by outstanding features of the earth, rock, water, or plant materials may be incorporated in the site development as natural assets of the land
- Spatial patterns:
- Refers to the way an open space of a given site is configured according to an arrangement of elements that evoke activity or flow, either physically or visually
User Requirements
- Also considered as space management or planning
- User requirements are the basis of our design
- Referred to as user needs, describe what the user does with the system, such as what activities that users must be able to perform
Movement System
- Pedestrian circulation, vehicular circulation, and road layout are important in site planning
- Various concepts and principles of circulation systems are used in designing infrastructure that works with the natural ecosystem
Circulation System
- Grid system:
- A type of circulation system
- Radial system:
- A type of circulation system
- Linear system:
- A type of circulation system
- Curvilinear system:
- Responds to the topography of the land and aligns with natural contours
- Works best at a small scale because the curving of the path reduces speeds
